I'd like to run two scripts every day on the same hour, but the second script should be executed a minute after the first one.

Is this cronjob correct?

0 0 * * * * first_script.cgi

1 0 * * * * second_script.cgi

They should run everyday at 12am/midnight.. the second one 12.01.

You've got one too many *'s in there.

Crons have the format: minute, hour, day of the month, month, day of the week. Also, put the full path to the command you're running in your contrab. e.g:

CODE

0 0 * * * /path/to/first_script.cgi

1 0 * * * /path/to/second_script.cgi
